No Hardware. No Holdups.

With Druva, cyber resilience doesn’t become an infrastructure project. Scale protection without standing up backup servers, planning appliance expansions, or scrambling for hardware.

Lower TCO Higher TCO
Fully Managed SaaS. Zero infrastructure to own.

Storage, compute, software, and security all included. No hardware procurement cycles, no capital surprises. Up to 40% lower TCO than legacy backup.

 Do-it-yourself. You own the burden.

Source, build, secure, and refresh 7+ Veeam products, each with its own license. Government procurement timelines make every refresh cycle longer and costlier.
One platform. No software sprawl.

Activate new capabilities from identity protection to eDiscovery within the same platform. No new software to install, configure, or manage.

 Every expansion adds infrastructure.

Every new workload or capability requires a separate Veeam product, its own deployment, and its own management overhead. Expansion means more complexity, not less.
Single console. Lower OpEx.

One management interface across all workloads reduces administrator burden and training costs. Fewer tools, fewer handoffs, fewer mistakes.

 Multiple storage silos to achieve immutable, air-gapped — managed and paid for separately.

Every protected copy requires its own provisioning, management, and budget line.
Predictable, consumption-based pricing.

Transparent per-TB opex model. No egress fees on restores.

 Licensing complexity compounds over time.

Multiple licensing models — sockets, instances, capacity, per-user — depending on the product. Legacy socket customers face a migration decision just to modernize their license.
Secure by design Secure by implementation
Air-gap and immutability — built in.

The entire backup infrastructure is air-gapped and immutable by architecture. Cannot be disabled by a compromised admin credential.

 Air-gap is your problem to configure.

Immutability requires third-party storage procurement and manual setup. One misconfiguration eliminates the protection entirely.
FedRAMP Moderate authorized.

Pre-vetted security controls reduce your agency's ATO timeline and compliance burden — so your agency spends less time on paperwork and more time protected.

 FedRAMP delivered through a third-party MSP partner.

Veeam routes public sector access through Constellation GovCloud. Evaluate what that dependency means for your agency's procurement and compliance process.
MDDR included. 24x7.

Human-verified threat monitoring across your entire backup environment, included for all organizations using Druva commercial cloud.

 Manual monitoring. Extra vendor required.

Traditional alerting requires your team to correlate and diagnose. Continuous monitoring means a separate contract and a separate budget line.
Separated control and data planes. No single point of failure.

Guaranteed SLAs. Always available. Architecture eliminates the attack surface that legacy backup servers create.

 Veeam Backup Server is a single point of failure.

HA/DR requires additional infrastructure your agency must procure, configure, and maintain — before you're protected against the failure of your own backup system.
SaaS simplicity Legacy challenges
One UI. All workloads, all locations.

Single pane of glass across on-premises, cloud, SaaS, and endpoints. No console-switching during an incident.

 Multiple consoles. Multiple blind spots.

Data center, cloud, and SaaS each have separate UIs, policy engines, and learning curves. Visibility gaps create response delays when it matters most.
Federated search, legal hold, and eDiscovery — unified.

Covers all sources from one interface. Critical for FOIA responses, IG audits, and litigation holds across state and local government and higher ed.

 Fragmented and limited.

No federated search or legal hold across edge and SaaS workloads. Separate products required — creating gaps in your agency's legal and compliance posture.
Days to protection, not months.

No servers to ship, rack, or configure. Organizations start protecting data immediately — no hardware procurement delay.

 Procurement before protection.

Hardware ordering, delivery, racking, and configuration all subject to government procurement timelines before the first backup runs.
Switch from Veeam to Druva in 4 Easy Steps
Ransomware ready Ransomware vulnerable
Respond immediately — even mid-attack.

Incident analysis and data recovery start from the Druva cloud even when your primary environment is encrypted and unavailable.

 Recover Veeam before you recover anything.

The Veeam environment itself must be restored before any data recovery or investigation can begin. Your backup tool becomes the first recovery problem.
Insider protection. Secure rollback.

7-day secure cache of deleted backups. Self-service rollback protects against compromised credentials and malicious deletion.

 No recourse for insider deletion.

If a bad actor — or a compromised credential — deletes Veeam backup data, it's gone. No cache, no rollback.
Curated recovery. Minimize data loss.

Algorithms identify the most recent clean file versions across an incident timeline — no throwing good data out with the bad.

 All-or-nothing recovery.

Veeam marks entire backup sets as clean or infected — forcing a choice between data loss and reinfection risk. Prolongs downtime and citizen service disruption.

Veeam vs. Druva FAQ:

Get the facts on cloud vs. legacy

Cloud services like Druva eliminate the need for upfront expenses on hardware and infrastructure — businesses pay only for the resources they consume in the cloud. This scalability prevents overprovisioning. Additionally, cloud providers benefit from economies of scale, reducing individual organizations' expenses. Maintenance, updates, and admin costs are removed as well, as these responsibilities are shifted to the service provider.

Cloud solutions like Druva enable quicker data recovery compared to on-premises setups like Veeam. Cloud providers offer automated backup, geographically dispersed data centers, and snapshot capabilities, ensuring redundancy and minimizing downtime. Scalability allows instant resource allocation during recovery. In contrast, on-premise solutions require manual backups and often have hardware limitations, leading to longer recovery times.

SaaS solutions like Druva are often more secure than on-premise setups like Veeam due to the robust measures they implement, i.e. advanced protocols, encryption, and continuous monitoring. With dedicated security teams, they can respond rapidly to threats. Additionally, reputable cloud services adhere to strict compliance standards, a level of security that might be challenging for organizations to achieve on their own premises.

SaaS solutions like Druva cater to diverse business sizes efficiently. Large enterprises benefit from the scalability to handle various workloads and optimize costs through pay-as-you-go pricing. Small businesses appreciate the accessibility to advanced technology without hefty upfront investments. Both leverage the flexibility, collaboration tools, and seamless scalability, and tailor resources to match their requirements.

Cloud solutions like Druva seamlessly integrate with hybrid environments, accommodating data on-premises and in the cloud. This flexibility enables data migration, sharing, and processing across platforms, fostering cohesive and scalable protection. Organizations leverage the benefits of cloud services while maintaining control over sensitive or legacy data stored on-premises, achieving a balanced and efficient IT ecosystem.
